The rain gauge shows 4.69 inches of rain for the month as I type. There is one more day in September. Will we make it to five inches of rain for the month? The last time Corrales received more than 4.50 inches of rain in a month was July and September 2013. According to the NOAA records, the Corrales gauge recorded its all-time 24-hour precipitation record of 1.78 inches on July 26, 2013.
The owl and I were the only ones out in the rain this morning.
No trace of the moon through the thick clouds.
The Rio Grande was flowing fast and high at 7:00 a.m.
Doppel happy to be inside, out of the rain.
Rain let up for a few minutes around 4:00 p.m.

Mother Nature is making up for all that dryness earlier in the year. Looks like we lucked out for our event as it stayed dry for both nights…now we are in for a good amount these next two days…fortunately got the trail torn down earlier tonight. Doppel has the coolest face coloring.
The rain keeps falling. Doppel is a handsome boy. I was happy to read your event was a success. Thanks, Brian.
The photos are lovely. Rain brings mystery and delight to photographs. It’s raining here too 🌧️☔️
Thanks, Robbie. We have received 5.24 inches of rain for the month as of this morning.

It’s always good to see a happy cat…
Happy cats = happy home. Thanks, Herman.
t rain smeared hill looks wonderful.
We are over 5 inches for September. Thanks, Shey.
Yay for rain and happy cats!
Thanks, Brad.
Do you have your floaties handy, just in case the 4.69 goes much higher?
We have 5.25 inches now. Thanks, Brad.
I love the panoramic image of the Rio Grande!
Thanks, Liz. Gives it an interesting perspective.
You’re welcome, Tim.
Up hear in the NE Heights, we got 6.55″ for September. I don’t ever remember getting so much rain at once. I went down to to the Rio Grande Nature Center this morning and a lot of the shrubs and native flowers had grown substantially in a week. There was also a good variety of migrating small birds busy with catching insects and feeding in the trees.
The heights usually get more rain than we do. We live in a rain shadow. We now have 5.24 inches for September. In September 2013, Corrales got 5.5 inches of rain. Unless we get another 1/4 inch tonight, we won’t match September 2013. Thanks, Susan.
That’s a lot of rain. I’m happy for everything that loves it.
Plants and trees are happy to be in the rain. Doppel is happy to be out of it. Thanks, Gigi.
Amazing you’re getting so much (too much) rain – but needed, as it is everywhere.
The trees and plants are happy. Thanks, Randall.
I saw where some people had to evacuate!
There are parts of NM that had a lot of flooding. Thanks, Dawn.
I’m glad you’re safe!
